Default viewport lighting:

I sorta like this look the best.

Lots of emphasis on edge loops and having the way the geo catches light reflect the lighting done on the texture. Also did some minor shader tweaks to match the texture a little better.

Cool edge loops too. Upper lip is a little "sharp" for my liking...
Totally SouL style though!

That, and the 3/4 view needs work on the profile. Exspecially the forehead is way to strait in that view. But also the cheeks and the mouth look a bit strange.
Not sure about that black line right below the lower lip, can't quite put my finger on the exact error there, but something looks strange there, too.
could we see some texture flats?
Here's a shot with the fixed ears and no hair.
Makes things easier to read.
Most of the seams you see on the geo are from me not welding everything together. The ones on the face are hard edges.
The gaunt cheeks, big chin, slightly hooked nose and sloped forhead give him character! We all have it, why can't he?
Small C&C: I think his ears are a little too high.
Here is an old picture of me (without beard

(beware ugly pic, I am not that ugly normaly, it is just a very bad picture
Maybe I do have a long head, but at least aim for something inbetween.
Exspecially look at the hairline above the ear... and no I am not losing hair, thats normal
[edit]: could someone please change the [image] code back to what is was originally, please?.
My host doesn't allow for direct hotlinking, but if I name the file simply .j it works. But now the script only displays a picture if it is .jpg or something similar
The forehead could slope back more in front ortho, its in danger of looking a bit feminine ( generally speaking men have more sloped foreheads and women straight up )
I also think youve gone a little dark with the eyeball shadow, and that the hairline could be a little more shapely. Go back into the temples a little more perhaps.
But very cool nonetheless.
i think this proves somthing , even tho JK thinks his head is unusual , its actually almost text book,
the eyes are almost directly in the centre of the head and the nose is in line with the bottom of the ear, the eye brow is almost in line with the top of the ear.
people have diferent features but generaly there faces are the same ... only slight diferences.
JK its not a bad pic at all
But my point about the 'longness' of my head was about the longness from the front to the back, not bottom to top.
(and to stay true to the first sentance of this post 'other longnesses' too
still , theres so much character in souls model and texture its dificult to say if there is any glaring errors ... hats off to him , most of us strive to this level of work ...
thats a sexy mother fucking johnny depp looking guy
and we all love johny depp right
his wife especially... rrr
anyway
when will we see u making a high poly, say, why, a preporsterous suggestion surely i know, but perhaps -- an ugly purple troll? with green worts?
no? no green worts?
ah, no purple troll?
oh well, just a wish
All I can crit is the nose in the second series of shots...in the 3/4 view I notice he has a sharp ridge down the center of his nose which would maybe have looked better if there was a line of polies down there instead of an edge (or some wider polies, if that's the case
What also gets me is the crispness of the texture...at just (3x) 256, it just looks amazing.
I actually prefered the model with his original ears. They give him a more human like feel.... imperfection. Now he looks more factory made insetad of naturally made.
I also think his first ears made him look more like he fit in a medieval time period... and Aristocrat. Now he looks more modern day... its weird that ears would make me think that but they do.
Torque, While humans may have imperfections. Rarely are they proportional imperfection (Not counting cases of bad accidents rendering the proportions to be warped). Proportions are just something humans have, and they work out strangely too.
Looking very nice. I dont really see the serious lack of colour of which Poop speaks. But brighten the whites of his eyes a bit no?! Is he getting a body?
